The XBox 360 - now the official system of tripped out hippies (thanks to Space Giraffe, the upcoming Rez, and this game)!

So apparently, Geon: Emotion is coming out on Wednesday for XBLA for $10. Yeah, I have no clue what's going on either (and the video didn't make things any clearer), but hey, I think it looks interesting. Here's what the xbox.com page had to say:

"Love it? Hate it? Does it make you angry? Does it calm you down? Feel the energy of powerful emotions as you compete amongst your opponents to master the unique sport of Geon: Emotions. What's your strategy going to be? Will you choose to spread fear among the other players, or unleash a wave of bliss over them with the aim of subverting their cause? Play to your emotional strengths. Allow your dark side to dominate, or win through speed, courage, and style. You can be the master of Geon, but you must learn to use your emotions to your advantage.

* A different game: Geon: Emotions is something different, a fast-paced abstract sports game that lets you explore your emotions as you compete against opponents.
* Next-gen graphics: The razor sharp visuals are accompanied by a pulse-pounding soundtrack.
* Game modes: Perfect your skills in a head-to-head duel or try the time attack to win medals and unlock mini-games. Then, go multiplayer on Xbox LIVE with up to four players and let it all hang out on the emotional battlefield.

The thought of a psionic combat versus game sounds way cool to me, but then again, this could just be the horrible result of a drunken wager...

    Indeed. It does seem like everything hinges upon the gameplay, because the theme confuses the hell out of me.

    I guess we'll find out in about 85 minutes.

    I'm feeling rather sad today, and so chose the Melancholy stage.

    I have to unlock the full game to access it.

    This filled me with Rage. I guess this game is working?

    I'm glad to see something that isn't a port for once, but they need to hurry up and release Castle Crashers and Undertow.

    well, it sucks that i woke up feeling sick, because i want to play this, but figure it would only bring things to a head rather fast.
